Trainset Ghetto is more voyeurism than hobbyism. It is the physical by-product of teenage suburban daydreams and attempts to live vicariously through an alien post-urban 1980s landscape that was in no way part of my quotidian existence. I only caught glimpses of this landscape through car rides on the Bruckner Expressway or in Henry Chalfant’s graffiti photographs or movies such as The French Connection and Style Wars.
